Glorious Revolution?

Question

What was the basic reason behind this revolution?

Answer 1

Americans were greedy and did not want to share with the British.

Answer 2

This was a regime change that took place in 1688 in England. James II was a Catholic monarch in a Protestant Kingdom. He married a Catholic princess, but Parliament endured this because the heir to the throne was a woman and Protestant.

But in the summer of 1688, James's Catholic wife had a male child who then became the Prince of Wales and heir to the throne. Since he would be reared in his mother's faith, even the Tories threw in and they invited William the Statholder in Holland to assume the throne with his wife Mary.

When William landed in England, James fled to France, from where he and his descendants made trouble for England for decades.

Thr revolution was "glorious" because it was bloodless. John Locke wrote his Second Treatis of Civil Government to provide the philosophical justification for turning a blind eye to the theory of Divine Right of Monarchs. It amounts to the right of revolution when govt. defies general will.

Answer 3

If you mean the American Revolution, we did not want to live under Brittish rule. Americans wanted to be a free people.

Answer 4

The English were sick of the Stuarts, and invited William & Mary across to rule. It was the last gasp of the divine right of English monarchs to rule, and an affirmation of the power of Parliament. It was also bloodless.
